LETTER TO THE PRINCIPALS 

To the Public High School Principals of the Northeastern 

Division: 

The First Animal Meet of the Public High Schools of the 
Northeastern Division will be held at Greenville on Friday, 
April 17, 1914. There will be contests in Kecitation, Declama- 
tion, Spelling, and Athletic Sports, The general regulations 
governing the eligibility of contestants and the specific rules 
for the several contests are given herewith. 

President Pobert H. Wright, of the East Carolina Teachers' 
Training School, and other citizens of Greenville have made it 
possible for us to hold this big meet in Greenville by generously 
providing funds for the prizes, etc., and it behooves every prin- 
cipal of this division to show his appreciation of their interest 
and cooperation by making every possible effort to have his 
school represented on this occasion. Mr. Wright and his co- 
workers are going to do their full part towards making the 
meet successful and our short stay in Greenville both pleasant 
and profitable. Let's show them we appreciate their generous 
hospitality. 

Not every principal can hope to have his school represented 
in every one of the contests; but every school certainly should 
be represented in at least one of the contests, and in several if 
possible. Of course, it is going to require some effort and a 
little expense perhaps to get ready for this event, but, after 
observing the results of these district contests in the other 
divisions for the past three years, I know that the net result to 
be gained from interested participation in the district meet will 
amply justify the effort and the expense. 

Eepresentatives for the contests in Declamation, Eecitation, 
and Spelling should be chosen by competition. For the purpose 
of selecting representatives each school should hold sometime in 
March a preliminary competitive contest. This will insure two 
things : first, greater interest in the District Contest on the part; 



of both school and community; and second, the selection of the 
best representatives. "We can not always tell which pupils can 
represent our schools with most credit until we put them to a 
test of this kind. A competitive contest sometimes reveals tal- 
ents we didn't know existed. And then, a pupil who has won his 
spurs in such a contest has gained power and experience and 
confidence which will stand him in good stead when the supreme 
test comes. The preliminary contest can thus be made of great 
educational interest and value to the individual contestant, to 
the school, and to the community. 

Let us make an effort to have every Public High School in 
this Division represented in one or more of the contests at 
Greenville on April 17th. 

Cordially yours, 'N. W. Walkee, 

State Inspector of Public High Schools. 

Chapel Hill, February 20, 1914.

Fourth Annual Meet 



Contests in 
Recitation, Declamation, Spelling, and 
Athletic Sports 



TO BE HELD AT 

GREENSBORO. NORTH CAROLINA 
APRIL 17, 1914 



LETTER TO THE PRINCIPALS 

To the Public High School Principals of the East Central 

Division: 

The Fourth Anniial Meet for the Public High Schools of the 
East Central Division will be held at Greensboro on Eriday, 
April 17, 1914. There will be contests in Recitation, Declama- 
tion, Spelling, Track Athletics, and a Basketball Tournament. 
The general regulations governing the eligibility of contestants 
and the specific rules governing the several contests are given 
herewith. 

Dr. J. I. Foust, President of the State J^ormal College, 
Prof. Thomas R. Foust, Superintendent of Public Instruction 
for Guilford County, and other citizens of Greensboro, have 
gone to considerable trouble and expense in making it possible 
for us to hold this big meet in their city. They are going to do 
their part towards making our meet successful and our short 
stay among them both pleasant and profitable. It behooves 
every public high school principal in this division, therefore, 
to have his school represented in one or more of the contests, 
thus showing his appreciation of this interest and cooperation 
on the part of the people of Greensboro. Of course, it is going 
to take some effort, and perhaps it will cost a little to get ready 
for this event; but, after observing the results of these contests 
for the past three years, I know that the net results gained from 
interested participation in the district meet will amply justify 
the effort and the expense. 

On April 18th, the day following the high school meet, there 
is to be held a great County Commencement for Guilford 
County. Those who can remain over for this event will have 
an opportunity to see one of the greatest parades of school 
children ever held in the State. And there will be many other 
attractive features of the occasion that will be amply worth 
while. 

Representatives for the contests in Recitation, Declamation, 



and Spelling should be chosen by competition. Eor the pur- 
pose of selecting representatives each school should hold some 
time in March a preliminary competitive contest. This will 
insure two things : first, greater interest in the District Contest 
on the part of both school and community; and second, the 
selection of the best representatives. We can not always tell 
which pupils can represent our schools with most credit until 
we put them to a test of this kind. A competitive contest some- 
times reveals talents we didn't know existed. And then, a 
pupil who has won his spurs in such a contest has gained power 
and experience and confidence which will stand him in good 
stead when the supreme test comes. The preliminary contest 
can thus be made of great educational interest and value to the 
individual contestant, to the school, and to the community.

this Division represented in one or more of the contests at 
Greensboro on April 17th.

Third Annual Meet 



Contests in 

Declamation, Recitation, Spelling, 

and Track Athletics 



TO BE HELD AT 

GOLDSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA 

FRIDAY, APRIL 17, 1914 



LETTER TO THE PRINCIPALS 

To the Public High School Principals of the Southeastern 

Division : 

The Third Annual Meet for the Public High Schools of the 
Southeastern Division will be held at Goldsboro on Friday, 
April 17, 1914. There will be contests in Eecitation, Declama- 
tion, Spelling, and Athletic Sports. The general regulations 
governing the eligibility of contestants and the specific rules 
for the several contests are given herewith. 

The people of Goldsboro, through the activity of Secretary 
Markley of the Chamber of Commerce and Prof. W. F. Allen 
of the Goldsboro City Schools, have gone to considerable trouble 
and expense in making it possible for us to hold this big meet 
in their city, and it behooves every principal of this division to 
show his appreciation of this interest and cooperation by making 
every possible effort to have his school represented on this occa- 
sion. The Chamber of Commerce of the city has generously 
provided the funds for the prizes, etc., and the people of the 
city are going to do their full part in making the meet suc- 
cessful and our short stay among then pleasant and profitable. 
Let's show them we appreciate their generous hospitality. 

Not every principal can hope to have his school represented 
in all the contests; but every school certainly should be repre- 
sented in at least one of the contests, and in several of them if 
possible. 

Of course it is going to take some effort and it will cost per- 
haps a little to get ready for this event; but, after observing 
the results of these contests for the past three years, I know that 
the net result gained from interested participation in the 
district meet will amply justify the effort and the expense. 

Representatives for the contests in Declamation, Eecitation, 
and Spelling should be chosen by competition. For the pur- 
pose of selecting representatives each school should hold some 
time in March a preliminary competitive contest. This will 



insure t^o things : first, greater interest in the District Contest 
on the part of both school and community, and second, the 
selection of the best representatives. "We can not always tell 
which pupils can represent our schools with most credit until 
we put them to a test of this kind. A competitive contest some- 
times reveals talents we didn't know existed. And then, a

can thus be made of great educational interest and value to 
the individual contestant, to the school, and to the community. 

Let us make an effort to have every Public High School in 
this Division represented in one or more of the contests at 
Goldsboro on April 17th.

Public High School 

First Annual Meet 



Contests in 

Declamation, Recitation, Composition, 

Spelling and Track Athletics 



TO BE HELD AT 

CONCORD. NORTH CAROLINA 
FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 1914 



LETTER TO THE PRINCIPALS 

To the Public High School Principals of the West Central 

Division: 

The First Annual Meet for tlie Public High Schools of the 
West Central Division will be held at Concord on Friday, 
April 10, 1914. There will be contests in Eecitation, Declama- 
tion, Spelling, Composition, and Athletic Sports. The general 
regulations governing the eligibility of contestants and the 
specific rules governing the several contests are given here- 
with. 

The Mayor of the city of Concord, the Secretary of the 
Chamber of Commerce, and other citizens of the town have 
gone to considerable trouble and expense in making it possible 
for us to hold this big meet in their city, and it behooves every 
public high school principal in this division to show his appre- 
ciation of this interest and cooperation by making every possible 
effort to have his school represented on this occasion. The peo- 
ple of Concord have generously offered to provide funds for 
the prizes to be awarded and accommodations for the contest- 
ants and principals while in their midst. They are certainly 
doing their part to make the meet successful and our short stay 
among them pleasant and profitable. Let's show them we 
appreciate their generous hospitality. 

Not every principal can hope to have contestants in every 
one of the contests, but every school certainly ought to be repre- 
sented in at least one of the contests and in several of them if 
possible. Of course it will take some effort and perhaps a little 
expense to get ready for this event; but, after observing the 
results of these contests in the other divisions for the past three 
years I know that the net result gained from interested partici- 
pation in the district meet will amply justify the effort and the 
expense. 

Eepresentatives for the contests in Declamation, Eecitation, 
Spelling, and Composition should be chosen by competition. 



4 



For the purpose of selecting representatives each school should 
hold sometime in March a preliminary competitive contest. 
This will insure two things: first, greater interest in the Dis- 
trict Contest on the part of both school and community; and 
second, the selection of the best representatives. We can not 
always tell which pupils can represent our schools with most 
credit until we put them to a test of this kind. A competitive 
contest sometimes reveals talents we didn't know existed. And 
then, a pupil who has won his spurs in such a contest has gained 
power and experience and confidence, which will stand him in 
good stead when the supreme test comes. The preliminary 
contest can thus be made of great educational interest and value 
to the individual contestant, to the school, and to the com- 
munity. 

Let us make an effort to have every Public High School in 
this Division represented in one or more of the contests at 
Concord on April 10th. 

Cordially yours, 'N. "W. Walker, 

State Inspector of Public High Schools. 

Chapel Hill, February 20, 1914.

TO BE HELD AT 

MARION, NORTH CAROLINA 

FRIDAY, APRIL 17, 1914 



LETTER TO THE PRINCIPALS 

To the Public High School Principals of the Western Division: 
The Second Annual Meet for the Public High Schools of the 
"Western Division will be held at Marion on Friday, April 17, 
1914. There will be contests in Eecitation, Declamation, Com- 
position, Spelling, and Athletic Sports. The general regula- 
tions governing the eligibility of contestants and the specific 
rules for the different contests are given herewith. 

The people of Marion have gone to considerable trouble and 
expense in making it possible for us to hold this big meet in 
their town this year, and it behooves every principal of this 
division to show his appreciation of their interest and coopera- 
tion by making every effort possible to have his school repre- 
sented on this occasion. When Supt. I. C. Griffin, of the 
Marion Schools, presented to his pupils the proposition to invite 
the high schools to come to Marion for their district contests 
this year, the students of the high school department promptly 
offered to put up the funds for the prizes and to provide enter- 
tainment in their homes for the contestants during their stay 
in Marion. Surely such generous action must be appreciated 
by every principal and by every high school student of the dis- 
trict. These young citizens are going to see to it that the meet 
is successful and that our stay among them is pleasant and 
profitable. Let's show them we appreciate their generous hos- 
pitality. 

]^ot every principal can hope to have his school represented 
in all the contests, but every school certainly should be repre- 
sented in at least one of the contests and in several of them if 
possible. Of course it is going to require some effort and per- 
haps cost a little to get ready for this event, but, after observ- 
ing the results of the district contests for the past three years, I 
know that the net results to be gained from interested partici- 



pation in the district meet will amply justify the effort and the 
expense. 

Eepresentatives for the contests in Declamation, Recitation, 
Spelling, and Composition should be chosen by competition. 
For the purpose of selecting representatives each school should 
hold sometime in March a preliminary competitive contest. 
This will insure two things: first, greater interest in the Dis- 
trict Contest on the part of both school and community; and 
second, the selection of the best representatives. We can not

then, a pupil who has won his spurs in such a contest has gained 
power and experience and confidence, which will stand him in 
good stead when the supreme test comes. The preliminary 
contest can thus be made of great educational interest and value 
to the individual contestant, to the school, and to the com- 
munity. 

Let us make an effort to have every Public High School in 
this Division represented in one or more of the contests at 
Marion on April 17th.
